I am doing some research on the available accounting software. We are currently using Peachtree and was wondering if there are any other better solutions available. Thanks.
We have good luck with QuickBooks Online: http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/ It has almost all the functionality of desktop QuickBooks, and they're adding features at a rapid pace.
We also use QuickBooks Online - having it online is just easier for your accountant or CFO to log in and keep track of the books. If you use the desktop version, you'll be emailing files back and forth.
Do you think you could skype and walk me through how you are managing your finances in GNU Cash? I'm a long time linux user and just started my own business and I'm trying to figure out how to manage everything!
Quickbooks has terrible UI and makes simple things far too complicated for most startups. I feel wrong giving them my money, so we use Outright.com and export the reports for our accountants.
Quickbooks, absolutely. If you're doing anything serious you need to use an industry standard (not necessarily Quickbooks) for this kind of application. Your accountant will hate you for using anything else.

But my accounting tends to be pretty basic.
In my opinion, there's unlikely to be a compelling reason to switch Peachtree to some version of Quickbooks.
So what is driving your desire to change?
